Dear Linden
My sister Angela alerted me to Dudley’s website which of course we have found fascinating. We are Vernon Warner’s granddaughters. Our brother Robin arrives today from New Zealand, and both he and Angela hope to be at Dudley’s funeral on Friday. Sadly I cannot be there.

One little reminiscence I have is that when as a ten year old I first went to Brondesbury-at Stocks, my mother Jean (Vernon’s daughter) asked me to look out for the tall handsome music master who would be in the school on Wednesdays. I was to give him her love and best wishes. I duly approached the tall handsome man on my first Wednesday in the school, and, first checking he was indeed the piano master, I passed on my mother’s message. This handsome man was delighted with the message but had no idea who Jean Warner was… I was talking to the delightful Nicholas Jackson, Dudley’s successor! I went a bit pink! However, I continued my lessons with Nicholas for the next few years, then, when he left, we had the dishy Francis Monkman – founder member of Curved Air Pop group, whose classical musical talents were of coursed impeccable! In my time at Brondesbury, Grandpa frequently came down to give recitals, often driven down at high speed from Kew in his charming lodger’s( Robin Brown), e-type jag. The Steynors and Warners had so much in common.
With all best wishes and I do hope the service goes well on Friday. So sorry I cant be with you.
We must keep in touch.
With all very best wishes
